Full Course Description

Innovation Games® are serious games that can be used to deliver cost-effective market research for Agile teams and super-charge the product planning process. Based on the book of the same name by Luke Hohmann, Innovation Games® power innovation by enabling you to better understand your customers.

This course will help you gain a better understanding of how to apply these games within the context of an Agile development process. While there is a lot to love about Agile development, many practices can get pretty tiresome. Retrospectives stop working when teams become bored with answering the same three questions (“what worked, what didn’t work, what should we change?”). Prioritizing a product backlog in a single meeting before, or during, release planning using a spreadsheet isn’t very engaging. Developing and presenting a product roadmap using PowerPoint gets pretty old, especially when you can’t find a way to show the growth in functionality of your product.

Beginning with an overview of Innovation Games, you will learn how to:

Identify customer requirements for an ideal product through Product Box

Improve retrospectives with Speed Boat

Prioritize your backlog through Buy a Feature

Plan a successful project through the game Remember the Future

Develop better release plans with Prune the Product Tree

Understand product usage with Me and My Shadow and Start Your Day

Play these games with remote teams

Agile should be fun! And when you integrate the games described in this workshop into your Agile practice, it will be.
